Intro: C G Bm C

Verse:
C                  G
Off and on since 17
C                                Em
Still got the grass stains on my jeans

Interlude: D Bm

C                             G
From when we'd meet up at the park
G                             C
Under the trees, watchin' the stars
C                          Em
Swore you were all I'd ever need

Interlude: D Bm

C                            G    D
We stole your brother's Mary Jane
C                                Em
'Cause life was just all fun and games

Interlude: D Bm

C                                 G
And though the years have come to pass
G                            C
The memories, they'll always last
C                           Em    D
Just like the leaves of evergreens

Chorus:
C                                G                 D
It seems like yesterday, we were parked in my driveway
       C                             G              D
Givin' up and partin' ways, I wish I stayed, had to leave
      C                                     G            D
And I know it sounds cliché, but you're the one that got away
              C         G     D
You'll always be my evergreen
       C
My evergreen

Interlude (x2): C  G  D

C                                  G     D
It's been five years since we last spoke
C                           Em    D
It's crazy how the time has flown
C                            G
Now you're a teacher back at home
           D                C
And I'm on tour, I play the shows
C                            G     D
Somehow I've always kept you close

Chorus:
C                                G                 D
It seems like yesterday, we were parked in my driveway
       C                             G              D
Givin' up and partin' ways, I wish I stayed, had to leave
      C                                     G            D
And I know it sounds cliché, but you're the one that got away
D             C         G
You'll always be my evergreen
D  C   C
My evergreen

C                        G   D
Maybe somewhere down the road
C                              G   D
When we're washed up, gray and old
C                        G
We could meet up at that park
G                             C
Under that tree and watch the stars
C                          E      D
Pick up the pieces that we brought
C                                G    D
'Til then, I'm countin' down the weeks
D                            Gm  D
Before the next time that we meet
C                         G
And even though you might forget
G                         C
And maybe wish we'd never met
C                       G D       G
Just know you'll always be my evergreen
